Similarity of Character. To my mind this success in Anglo. American co-operation has been due to 1 of the world. No nation will gain more the fact that, notwithstanding minor flame an Angio -American friendship intellectual differences, the British and 1 than France, Both Great Britain and American characters are fundamental I the United States must always stand ly the same. Both nations .are givenLor the protection of France against to frankness and to talking things out German aggression, Together they They lack the sensitiveness of the Lo.. can protect France against becoming tins. They are essentially practical the battlefield of the world. When those qualities arc present the People who have a conmeon object are bound to agree ifthey think hard enough. The outetanding event at the Peace Conference is not the acceptance of the league of nations and the treaty by more than a score of nations speak ing almost as many different len guages. it is the demonstration which cents many genera and species new to science, 8.114 defines the anatomy and distribution of the several hereto- fore but partially kil01,011 creatures.

VIRTUES OF THE ONION. Highly Recommended as a Cure For Many Human Ills. Onion eaters, as medical men have noted, are rarely ill, and that because onions clear, as nothing else does, all the poisons and impurities and germs from the body. Onions, in fact, are strong disinfectants, and if sliced raw and put about a sick room would gath- er to themselves all the infectious germg just as well as an expensive dis. infectant would, It is for that reason that it is.

There moot bo many such people or I would not so often hear ef them. The safest basis for the friendship of the English-speaking peoples 01 1110 world is not found in our common tra- ditions nor in the fact thetilwe speak the same language and have the same moral and intellectual inheritance, That basis alone has not been suf- ficient to insure an effective friendship in the past. We must look for a more practical basis—a basis founded not only on sentiment, but on enlightened national selfishness. Here, it seems to 1110, is where we find the strongest basis for our friendship.
